1436 Proverbs 19
he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
A false witness shall not be unpunished ;
and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
Delight is not seemly for a fool ;
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger ;
and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion ;
but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father :
and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers :
and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep ;
and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul ;
but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord ;
and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment :
for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
There are many devices in a man’s heart ;
nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
The desire of a man is his kindness :
and a poor man is better than a liar.
The fear of the Lord tendeth to life :
and he that hath it shall abide satisfied ;
he shall not be visited with evil.
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom,
and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
